Yes, I have a pretty low power level here and vengevine is still totally fine. It feels pretty brutal when you can get it back for free early, but it's not that common actually, when you just spend your mana every turn. I mean, you need to get it in the bin and then play two creatures in one...

I have to say I'm surprised you're cutting all the morphs. I've never found the gray ogre argument to be based on a good observation, as that's never how morphs except Zoetic Cavern play out for me. I figured that the body only really matters in the first declare blockers step in the turn after...

It's what I call a heavy hybrid, and since I am actively supporting mono color decks, I play a few of these, fully aware that they only go in three different decks ( A, B or AB). If they are powerful enough (among your better cards at least), they act like a mild payoff for two different mono decks.

I'm also testing a second card! Should be good with my sac/token themes in these colors, but no trample/evasion makes him fair I anticipate. I also just went up to 5 hybrids per guild, so now it will join Gleancrawler, Golgari Signet, Worm Harvest and Life//Death.

But ... it isn't card disadvantage, since you will play or otherwise use the card it "draws" you. It's like a tutor then, or a massive modal card. Need a five mana 6/6? Go get Honored Hydra or Roar of the Wurm. Need to draw some cards? Deep Analysis is your painful divination. Need to get your...

I'm also liking it so far. Last weekend I dropped it and then cast Briarhorn in response to kill an opposing, larger flyer. I felt clever before I lost.

btw, this is how the old gold frame should've looked like.

Maja, Bretagard Protector

Having a better worst case is totally fine with me, as a 5/5 trample for 5 is not exactly a great card, even though it's far from ebarassing in my environment. I just have a feeling that this might be a larger removal check than Ant Queen. If the opponent can untap with at queen, at worst...

Hmm, this might be the green lifegain enabler+payoff I was hoping for. I'm just worried that it might be too good. Is it better than this guy? Kamahl, Fist of Krosa How would it compare to the original? Overrun

I think the mechanic is somewhat compareable to the land mdfcs from Z3ndikar. These also feel subpar (like most lessons), but don't take up one of your precious 23-24 spell slots. However, there are two big differences, that make the spell/lands more attractive to me. Instead of adding modes to...

I agree to some degree. Sure, you need more cards supporting an archetype, so in some drafts you might end up wit 5 extra cards. But if you on average end up with 5 extra cards, you could cut them back a little. I think one thing that helped me improve my cube during the last year massively was...

I don't doubt that these cards will play great and I'm loking forward to drafting STX, but I think you're underestimating the negative effect these will have on the draft experience. Yes, there will be fewer unused cards in sideboards, but what are these cards anyway? Well, there are basically...

I hope we will get at least one good, self fueling lifegain payoff in green in the commander deck, but my hopes aren't too high. I'd probably take a simple beater/roadblock, like a 2/2 for {2}{G} that gains two life on etb and adds a counter at the end of each turn you got some life or something...

Okay, I'll banish some things into fables then! The one thing I liked about hanna was, that she didn't care if I had only 10 of one of these card types and 0 of the other.

Which of these artifact/enchantment payoffs is easier to make work and better when it does? Hanna, Ship's Navigator Banish into Fable

Not meant to be basphemy but ... Gifts ungiven I just ordered a few cards and saw that the guy had a Gifts for 0.50€, so I just added it to my cart. i don't really know what this can do in my low powered cube, but I'm eager to just throw it in for a few drafts and see. Is this a good idea...

I didn't mean to sound so negative, I was just wondering if there is anything new, but I admit, that my statement could be understand as hating Strixhaven. I don't, I'm happy for everyone who enjoys it and I think drafting it will be really fun with learn/lesson as a theme. I just didn't say...

Doesn't G/U do what it always did? Drawing cards, ramping and caring about +1/+1 counters?
